Covertly subversive.
In today’s episode of teaching American history in the upside down…

Vietnam Anti-War protests.

“Whoah…a lot of different people came together to protest the war. The Karens used their powers to protest”.

Today’s gem when teaching Cold War domestic policies:

“so why were queer Americans believed to be communist, but if you were queer in the USSR, you’d be killed?!”

We got there. US gov equates all things bad the same way.

Proud of my senator!
😂😂😂 Senator Van Hollen:  "Elon Musk may get to be dictator of Tesla, but he doesn't, and he may try to play dictator here in Washington, D. C., but he doesn't get to shut down the Agency for International Development. "

The financial markets are the only thing that can stop Trump’s reign of chaos.

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who puts 100% of the blame on idiot trump for the high prices we have now, especially since he promised to LOWER them immediately -- instead, his idiotic tariffs will push them even HIGHER.

We fucking WARNED you he was full of shit.

If the new federal administration insists on a level playing field in all markets and governmental organizations, let’s think about what else needs to get the chop because of “DEI”.

I’ll start. The Electoral College (for small states). 🤷🏼‍♀️

Land doesn’t vote. People do.

Today I taught about 1950s America. Civil Defense Administration, Interstate Highway and Defense Act, Military Industrial Complex, McCarthyism and the Red/Lavender scare, Space Race, and the National Defense Education Act.

The lightbulbs going off in class. The audible gasps.

Gen Z gets it.

Lincoln surrounded himself with people who didn’t agree with him. Doris Kearns Goodwin called it a “team of rivals”. He’s regarded as one of the best, strongest, and most admired presidents ever.

Food for thought.

Just wondering where #demleaders and #gopleaders are while the executive branch is clearly taking power away from the legislative branch. #crickets

Boy, these last eight days feel like a good reminder why democracies generally avoid letting people who attempt a coup come back to power….

Dems can:

-oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn
-deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings
-vote no on all cloture
-force quorum calls at every chance

It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.

Just a reminder. To get the benefits of living in a civilized and functioning society, you must be willing to contribute to that society in a meaningful way. Contributions often do not involve money. They involve acts of service - far more valuable than any check you could write.
